Many of Python's capabilities are underutilized even by more experienced programmers. Mastering Python, Second Edition, is an authoritative guide to understanding advanced Python programming so you can write the highest quality code. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated with exercises, four new chapters and updates up to Python 3.10. Revisit important basics, including Pythonic style and syntax and functional programming. Avoid common mistakes made by programmers of all experience levels. Make smart decisions about the best testing and debugging tools to use, optimize your code's performance across multiple machines and Python versions, and deploy often-forgotten Python features to your advantage. Get fully up to speed with asyncio and stretch the language even further by accessing C functions with simple Python calls. Finally, turn your new-and-improved code into packages and share them with the wider Python community. If you are a Python programmer wanting to improve your code quality and readability, this Python book will make you confident in writing high-quality scripts and taking on bigger challenges What you will learn Write beautiful Pythonic code and avoid common Python coding mistakes Apply the power of decorators, generators, coroutines, and metaclasses Use different testing systems like pytest, unittest, and doctest Track and optimize application performance for both memory and CPU usage Debug your applications with PDB, Werkzeug, and faulthandler Improve your performance through asyncio, multiprocessing, and distributed computing Explore popular libraries like Dask, NumPy, SciPy, pandas, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn Extend Python's capabilities with C/C++ libraries and system calls Who this book is for This book will benefit more experienced Python programmers who wish to upskill, serving as a reference for best practices and some of the more intricate Python techniques. Even if you have been using Python for years, chances are that you haven't yet encountered every topic discussed in this book. A good understanding of Python programming is necessary Table of Contents Getting Started – One Environment per Project Interactive Python Interpreters Pythonic Syntax and Common Pitfalls Pythonic Design Patterns Functional Programming – Readability Versus Brevity Decorators – Enabling Code Reuse by Decorating Generators and Coroutines – Infinity, One Step at a Time Metaclasses – Making Classes (Not Instances) Smarter Documentation – How to Use Sphinx and reStructuredText Testing and Logging – Preparing for Bugs Debugging – Solving the Bugs Performance – Tracking and Reducing Your Memory and CPU Usage asyncio – Multithreading without Threads Multiprocessing – When a Single CPU Core Is Not Enough Scientific Python and Plotting Artificial Intelligence Extensions in C/C++, System Calls, and C/C++ Libraries Packaging – Creating Your Own Libraries or Applications Review: Hake your python skills to the next level. - If you are an intermediate python programmer I think "Mastering Python" from Rick Van Hattem could be a great addition to your library. After have programming for a few years my skills got to the point where you can solve most problems I came across, but I still felt like I wanted to learn more complicated concepts and wanted to write code that was more efficient. One area that I wanted to learn more about and multiprocessing and multi threading, Rick Van Hattem did a really nice job approaching this concept, much better than what I have read on the the internet. This book should be able to take your python skills to the next level. In addition to that I really enjoyed his explanation of classes, structures, decorators, generators, and coroutines. In case you need a refresher on environments or dependencies and other basic concepts the book also has you covered. That being said if you are new to python programming, I am not sure this would be my 1st book to purchase, it might be a little overwhelming give it has 700 pages of content. If you want to improve you knowledge and skills this is a nice book to have in your library. Review: Covers most of the topics ( basic and advance ) - Overall amazing combination of all the content in a single book for python. It is quite comprehensive. It gives a brief idea with examples which he starts from environment/package management, to docstrings, list, set and dict, hinting and testing, and many more. If you are a recent graduate or have started working on python recently, then you have lots to learn from this book in systematic format. Even if you have worked for around 3+ years in python this book will teach you some of the most basic tricks which will be helpful in day to day coding and shortening the code. This book has a chapter for machine learning for those folks who want to get some help in ML and Python coding. Overall this book is nice and would provide good information for new grads and someone with 3-4+ years of python exp. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,320,288 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #158 in Functional Software Programming #1,990 in Python Programming #3,209 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 74 Reviews | ## Images ![Mastering Python: Write powerful and efficient code using the full range of Python's capabilities, 2nd Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RaqgIOySL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hake your python skills to the next level. *by D***G on November 24, 2022* If you are an intermediate python programmer I think "Mastering Python" from Rick Van Hattem could be a great addition to your library.
